What..will happen if Singapore continues to lose more of its butterfly species? We will have fewer butterflies to admire and enjoy in our gardens, parks and especially forests where most of them live The reproduction of our trees and shrubs will be affected as butterflies help in pollinating flowers and therefore in the production of seeds Our biodiversity ( the total range of life forms including plants, mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects) will be reduced As butterflies and their caterpillars form part of nature’s food chain, both wildlife and the well-being of our environment will suffer
